+Subject: Your application to Ubuntu to Trademarks
+
+Hi Zeeshan,
+
+Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in and support of Ubuntu.
+
+============
+
+We have been working on a new GNOME
+application, Boxes[1] that (among other things) enables users to easily
+manage virtuat-machines. This also includes ability to detect
+operating-systems given an installation media and presenting an
+intuitive and impressive UI to user to easily install different
+operating systems with minimum or no interaction. Boxes makes use of a
+new library, libosinfo[2] that provides information about operating
+systems (which it internally keeps in an XML database).
+
+Can we get explicit permission to use the Ubuntu logo (as shown in the screen[3]) and distribut it as part of libosinfo or Boxes itself?

+
+Canonical is the official sponsor of the Ubuntu project and owns the trademarks, both in the word and logo form, relating to the project.
+
+To keep the balance between the integrity of our trademarks and the ability to customise Ubuntu, weâve tried to define a reasonable trademark policy that allows our Community to use Ubuntu and to promote the project. You can read the full policy at http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy.
+
+As your intent is to promote the Ubuntu brand and show your support of the software, we have no issue with you producing the product as you have requested.
+
+You can find our brand guidelines and downloadable images at http://design.ubuntu.com/.
+
+Thanks again for your support.
+
+Kind regards,
+
